SAFELY OPERATING YOUR RAVE SUPER SHUTTLE
Beach Boarding Procedure:
▪ Always secure Super Shuttle on the beach in a position that will not allow the Surf to pull it
out to sea. Orient the Shuttle so the bow is facing away from the beach towards open water.
Do not allow the Shuttle to position itself sideways against incoming waves.
▪ Before boarding passengers, double check tow harness lines and all components for signs of
wear, damage or potential failure.
▪ Double check the condition of Tow Line and correct connection to the PWC/Jet Ski. Only use
Tow Lines approved for Marine Towables and minimum 6,000 lb. tensile strength rating.
Never use bungee cords for towing.
▪ Temperatures can affect air pressure in all inflatable watercraft. Periodically check for correct
Air Pressure in all Shuttle Tubes using the provided RAVE Digital Air Pressure Gauge:
•
3 Main Yellow Tubes: 1.25 to 1.5 PSI (each)
•
2 Blue Foot Support Tubes: 2.00 to 2.5 PSI (each)
▪ Do not allow anyone to board the Super Shuttle without wearing a proper fitting U.S. Coast
Guard approved Type III Life Vest (PFD).
▪
Before boarding the Shuttle, crew members MUST instruct all Riders about safety during the
Shuttle and Boat Transfer processes. Riders should be familiar with the process to safely
execute transfers on the water, as directed by the Boat
Captain and Crew members.
▪ Always board and exit the Super Shuttle from the rear/aft of
the Shuttle when on the beach.
▪
Step carefully onto Shuttle using foot tubes and handles.
▪ Sit only on the CENTER Tube in a numbered seating position
as directed by Crew member.
▪
Sit upright, facing forward. Lean slightly forward. Firmly
grasp Rider handle with both hands. Place both feet flat on the blue foot support tubes.
▪
Once all Riders are secure, wearing PFDs and in correct seating positions, Crew members will
position the Shuttle in water and will use hand signals to alert the PWC driver to proceed.
▪ PWC driver should slowly take up any slack on the tow line and slowly turn the Shuttle
towards open water. Be extremely cautious if close to docks, piers or other obstructions to
ensure the Shuttle is fully clear of all obstacles before accelerating.
